Description

This Supplementary Guideline provides detailed information with respect to resolving exceedances of Alberta Ambient Air Quality Objectives and Alberta Ambient Air Quality Objectives and Guidelines predicted in air quality modelling associated with regulatory applications in the Industrial Heartland Designated Industrial Zone. This information was developed to provide proponents with certainty of process around the function of Alberta Ambient Air Quality Objectives and Alberta Ambient Air Quality Objectives and Guidelines establishing approval conditions for regulated industrial facilities, and the evaluation process for proposals for constructing facilities.

Description

An air quality modelling assessment is usually undertaken as part of the approval process to understand the impact of industrial activity on the surrounding ambient air. The Air Quality Model Guideline provides guidance on the appropriate modelling to be undertaken in Alberta when one of these assessments are required. Also included are three companion documents. The first provides clarification on interpreting modelling results for typical emission scenarios, when required by the guideline. The second provides a companion spreadsheet for determining whether or not the modelling terrain is considered complex as per Section 3.0 of the guideline. The third provides stakeholder comments to the original draft guideline [2020] and Environment and Parks response to these comments.

Description

Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development retained ENVIRON International Corporation and Novus Environmental Inc. to conduct regional air quality modelling to support South Saskatchewan regional planning, as well as to provide a better understanding of potential air quality issues in the South Saskatchewan Region. The Community Multiscale Air Quality Modelling system was used to predict air pollution concentrations for the 2006-2008 and 2020, 2050 future years at 36, 12 and 4 km resolutions.
